And it's not just the SCA.  A friend of ours had to go to school because her (7? 8?
year old) daughter had told a story about riding in a hot air balloon.  The teacher
told the mother not to punish the child, "she's not lying, she's just using her
imagination."  To which mom replied, "she's not lying, she's using her memory."  I'm
sure all the "fringe" activities get the same problem.  Heaven forbid people actually
have hobbies.
